About 500 wagons with liquefied gas that were sent to Polish transshipment terminals may explode on Polish territory.
Due to sanctions imposed by local authorities on a subsidiary of Novatek Green Energy, there was a threat of a gas release.
According to experts, the threat arose after the company lost control over further transportation and unloading of wagons.
It is also worth noting that all cars entered Poland legally.
Due to the physical and chemical properties of liquefied gas, in the event of prolonged idle time of cars on the tracks, an increase in external temperature and an increase in gas pressure in the cars can lead to the release of gas into the atmosphere, as well as its ignition, which will lead to a powerful and difficult to extinguish fire , – MIA quotes the words of company representatives.
In total, there are about 40 million liters of propane-butane gas in the railway tanks, which must be immediately sent to transshipment terminals, but so far Novatek Green Energy cannot take any action.
